#12948: TBB Linux 4.0-Alpha-1 HashedControlPassword not working
-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
Reporter: vis15 | Owner: tbb-
Type: defect | team
Priority: normal | Status: new
Component: Tor Browser | Milestone: Tor:
Keywords: TBB, Linux, HashedControlPassword, | unspecified
Alpha | Version: Tor:
Parent ID: | unspecified

-------------------------------------------------+-------------------------
On TBB 4.0-Alpha Linux 64-bit when trying to connect to the control port
with the password of "secret" I get the following error: "515
Authentication failed: Password did not match HashedControlPassword *or*
authentication cookie."
In start-tor-browser script file, line 225 "unset TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD" this
leaves the control password blank. Every time I start TBB the
HashedControlPassword is different.
When setting TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD in the terminal, TBB fails to start. Error
message is: "[warn] Bad password or authentication cookie on controller."
When setting TOR_CONTROL_PASSWD in start-tor-browser script file the same
error message is reported "[warn] Bad password or authentication cookie on
controller."
When manually setting HashedControlPassword in torrc, tor ignored it and
sometimes changed it.
All errors happened on a clean/brand new Linux Mint 64-bit Virtual
Machine.
